Overview

  • Announced on August 27, the Chongqing facility is the first deployment of DXOMARK’s Camera V6 automated testing protocol.
  • The lab runs end-to-end workflows without human intervention using robotic arms for micron-level positioning, automated chart switching, and AI-controlled environmental simulation.
  • Inclusive evaluation tools include six 3D head models and scientifically calibrated 2D color charts designed to represent a broad range of global skin tones.
  • Region-specific testing can tailor evaluations to local preferences, such as brighter exposure targets for African markets or stronger low-light noise reduction for Southeast Asia.
  • Tecno says lab outputs will feed its imaging roadmap to drive continuous algorithm updates, with claims based on company statements and no independent verification reported.
